Time 30m

Yield Serves 10 to 14

Number Of Ingredients 9

Olive oil
2 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Couple sprigs fresh thyme or marjoram, leaves picked
1 1/2 to 2 ounces/ 50 ml cider
14 ounces/ 400 g Cheddar cheese
14 ounces/ 400 g Gruyere cheese
5 1/2 ounces/ 150 g blue cheese
2 tablespoons creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Fondue is quite a retro concept but it's easy to make and the sort of thing that you should start cooking once your guests have arrived. That way, it will be runny and gooey and perfect when everyone is ready to eat and they'll all be interested and excited by what's going on in the pan.
  • Heat a lug of oil in a frying pan on a medium heat. Put a large saucepan with an inch or two of hot water on a low heat. Put a large heatproof bowl over the saucepan so you have a bain-marie.
  • Add the chopped shallots to the frying pan and cook them gently for around 5 to 10 minutes with a pinch of salt and pepper and the herbs. Once they've softened, but not coloured, add them to the bowl with the cider and all of the cheese.
  • Leave the cheese to slowly melt down, only stirring now and then to help it along. Once it has mostly melted, stir in the creme fraiche, then a swig or 2 of hot water to loosen the mixture a little. Have a taste to check the seasoning, and get all of your dipping ingredients and skewers at the ready.

Tips:

  • Use good quality cheese: The better the cheese, the better the fondue. Look for cheeses that are flavorful and melty, such as Gruyère, Emmental, or Fontina.
  • Grate the cheese yourself: Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose, which can make the fondue grainy. Grating the cheese yourself ensures that it melts smoothly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fondue from burning.
  • Stir the fondue constantly: This will help to prevent it from curdling.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers: Bread cubes, vegetables, and fruit are all popular choices.
  • Keep the fondue warm: A fondue pot with a built-in warmer is ideal, but you can also keep the fondue warm in a slow cooker or over a low flame on the stovetop.
